AGARTALA, Nov 10 (TIWN): DYFI celebrated the foundation day of ‘World Federation of Democratic Youth’ (WFDY) at City Centre Agartala.

WFDY is an international youth organization, recognized by the United Nations as an international youth non-governmental organization.

WFDY describes itself as an "anti-imperialist, left-wing organization.

 It was founded in London in 1945 as a broad international youth movement, organized in the context of the end of World War II with the aim of uniting youth from the Allied nations behind an anti-fascist platform that was broadly pro-peace, anti-nuclear war, expressing friendship between youth of the capitalist and socialist nations.

The WFDY Headquarters are in Budapest, Hungary. The main event of WFDY is the World Festival of Youth and Students. The last festival was successfully held in Quito, Ecuador, in December 2013. It was one of the first organizations granted general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
